Output formats are not well-formatted
First, the argument to --output-format does not seem to be validated: --output-format foo will still work and give the default format. Second, it seems the argument is case-sensitive; CSV works but csv silently gives the default. It would be nice if I could use lower case.
Third, it seems there may be some byte vs. string / encoding issues, as many strings come out as the Python repr for binary data (b'...').
Here is the Athena ELB log example database:
athena --execute "SELECT * FROM "sampledb"."elb_logs" limit 3;"

It's not clear what --output-format CSV_HEADER supposed to do, but it's adding a duplicate header:
